[Yahoo-whiner]- ***** part ways with Plummer (Scout.com)

The ***** didn't waste any time pulling the plug on Ahmed Plummer, releasing the six-year veteran cornerback Thursday even though he still has three years remaining on the five-year, $25 million contract he signed with the team in 2004. The Niners also released veteran defensive lineman Chris Cooper and wide receiver Johnnie Morton as they begin to shape their roster and get their salary-cap situation in order with the approach of free agency next month.
